LA REUNIÓN DE SACRAMENTO 2008REUNION 2008 - SACRAMENTO - JULY 23-27"La Semana Sacramental," aka "Summer Knights in Sacramento"Page 7Click on the photos below for larger versions. Gathering Thursday afternoon at our informal headquarters - the patios and lawn in front of Janice's, Jill's, Skip's & Tom's adjacent rooms.
Funny story behind this photo - Wendie, Sherry, and Vicki spend some time camped out in front of this hotel room, knocking on the door, hollering for us to come out thinking this was one of the two rooms we were using as our designated gathering place. There was a minor problem, however. The actual rooms we were using were right across the pathway. Here they are beating a hasty retreat after just learning they were accosting the wrong room :)
These plays and entremeses made up Ocho Comedias y Ocho Entremeses Nuevos, Nunca Representados (Eight Comedies and Eight New Interludes, Never Before Acted) which appeared in 1615. Cervantes' entremeses, whose dates and order of composition are not known, must not have been performed in their time. Faithful to the spirit of Lope de Rueda, Cervantes endowed them with novelistic elements, such as simplified plot, the type of description normally associated with the novel, and character development. The dialogue is sensitive and agile. Cervantes includes some of his dramas among those productions with which he was himself most satisfied, and he seems to have regarded them with self-complacency in proportion to their neglect by the public. This conduct has sometimes been attributed to a spirit of contradiction and sometimes to vanity. That the penetrating and profound Cervantes should have so mistaken the limits of his dramatic talent would not be sufficiently accounted for had he not unquestionably proved by his tragedy of Numantia how pardonable was the self-deception of which he could not divest himself. |
